Strictly Come Dancing fans are in for a treat tonight as the competition reaches its thrilling quarter final stage, but they'll need to note a later start time for the live show.
Revised Schedule for Musicals Week
The BBC has adjusted its usual Saturday night lineup, meaning the quarter final broadcast will begin at 6.50pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The show is scheduled to conclude at 8.05pm. This shift comes as the remaining five couples battle for a place in next week's semi-finals.
